PING is a family-owned manufacturer that produces clubs, bags and other gear for the sport of golf. Karsten Solheim founded the company in 1959 when he wanted to design a golf putter that made a ?pinging? sound when striking a golf ball (hence the name PING). Even though the company has been around barely 50 years, its putters may be extremely valuable depending on their model and type. Classic Series Ping B60 Steel Putter 85068 36" Steel Shaft RH Ping B60 Putter 1973 - 2000 The PING Classic Series Putters feature classic shapes and timeless designs that have proven to be tour-worthy, as evidenced by the amount professionals who've brandished them on their way to victory. The B60 is a traditional, heel-toe weighted semi-mallet, and with a moderate amount of toe hang, best suits players with a slight arc in their putting stroke. The Ping B60 is one of the classic shapes of the the last 50 years in putting. Used by Nick Faldo for two of his major victories in Beryllium Copper form, it has been manufactured by Ping in many different materials over the years. The shape of the two bulges at back of the putter is what gives it its "B" name, and you should be aware that optical research has proven that rounded shapes are more difficult to align than straight, perpendicular ones, but the long aimline on the B60 does go some way to make up for this. The overwhelming feeling of the B60 is that of a ringing sound when you make contact with the ball. It's not in the same "pinging" league as some of the older Anser models whose "soundslot" make them really sing. The sound here more that of a muted bell. But there's no delicate feel from the B60, along with this distinctive sound, which is a bit of a disappointment. This is compounded by the fact that the putter head isn't as dainty as many thinner styles of putter. The ball comes off the face slowly with a fairly dull thud and this is a characteristic that you'll like if you regularly putt on superfast greens, but may otherwise disappoint you. Nevertheless this almost unique delivery of the ball from the clubface probably accounts for why Nick Faldo used this putter to such good effect at the end of his career on the slick greens of Augusta National. One thing that does appeal to all users of the B60 is it's shape. The long alignment line combine with the B shape allows you to aim the putter reliably and of course that's crucial to good putting! The curved shape is also easier on the eye than many of the other squarer-edged putters Ping makes. Although it has an attractive appearance and great roll, the B60 has been the lesser relation to the Anser in Ping's stable for several decades, and for my money I wouldn't opt for a B60 because of the dull feel. The feel may well leave you unimpressed as well, but it is a great putter for slippery putts on fast greens and this alone will keep golfers buying and using the Ping B60 for many years to come. Features: Classic heel-toe weighted semi-mallet Stainless steel finish provides a soft feel at impact Toe Hang: Moderate Review: "The Ping B60 sets up wonderfully behind the golf ball. You don't have to worry about the putter turning in or out at address, it set's up square each time you set it down. The plumbers neck and sight line make it extremely easy to line the putter up right on the ball as well as to the sweet spot of the putter. I've also putted with the Ping Anser and found that I would at times be putting the ball towards the heel of the putter without knowing it. With the sight line on the B60 that isn't a problem."
